Your Right to Comment Ends at My Front Door
Derek Powazek has a great post on blogging and comments. I turned off comments in the last redesign of powazek.com because I needed a place online that was just for me. With comments on, when I sat down to write, I’d preemptively hear the comments I’d inevitably get. It made writing a chore, and eventually [...]
Pro Blogger I am Not
I was asked about the advertising I have on some of our sites the other day. I sent most of this via e-mail but after I was asked about this again, I thought I would post it here. I have never thought advertising was that big of a money maker. If you have time, look [...]
The Christian Book Whore
Bill picks up on my post about bloggers whoring themselves out to the publishers for free books and other products. First of all, the price is quite small, EA once sent my brother to San Francisco for the launch of Battlefield 2 and game home with a bag full of schwag and more free games [...]
Why Jordon Cooper Outfitters?
A couple of you have asked what my plan is for Jordon Cooper Outfitters as it hasn’t made a lot of sense for some of you as to why I have done it and why I am only posting once a day. Here is the short answer. I am posting once a day because it [...]
It’s still chilly out there
I posted this over at the Salvation Army Community Centre’s blog and I thought I would link to it here. There has been a lot of media reports about guys who are sleeping outside in –40 below weather. I know some of them personally and the guys do have options for places to sleep. If [...]
It’s alive
I am not sure what happened but I accidently let JordonCooper.com expire. I went to immediately renew it but somehow I ended up purchasing jordoncooper.org and never did renew jordoncooper.com. Today I realized what happened and now I have two domain names. I am trying to decide if I should just have jordoncooper.org redirect to [...]
Now on Twitter
The last couple of days I have been having a running discussion with Karen over at The Hedge Society on Twitter about why Apartment Therapy doesn’t use Twitter. Several of my favorite design sites all use Twitter and I follow many of them over at The Cooper Cabin. During our discussion made me realize that [...]
How to Block Cell Phone and SMS Spam
I have posted about this before but some idiot spammer is using a fake @jordoncooper.com address as a return address to spam cell phones with. Since this costs some people money, they are upset but as I have said, I don’t have anything to do with it. This is a personal site that doesn’t sell [...]
Spam from jordoncooper.com
I have had a lot of complaints lately about spammer sending out SMS text messages from jordoncooper.com. I’ll set the record straight, this is a personal domain that no one spams out of. The site doesn’t sell anything, it doesn’t offer any services, it has no revenue stream what so ever. Like a lot of [...]
A brush with death
Wow, I just about lost almost 9000 posts and seven years of my life here a couple of hours ago when my WordPress installation crashed. I really need to backup my database. Anyways the blog is back online sans some images and until the weekend will likely have some damage to it. Until then there [...]
#3 Urban Ministry blog of 2008
This is kind of cool, I was the #3 urban ministry blog of 2008 by the folks over at Urban Ministry.org. While it is nice for the ego, it is based on some flawed ranking criteria but it’s nice to be mentioned on the same list as people I respect.
The results are in. Both Wendy and Daniel Miller hate my Twitter updates on the website. I’ll move them to a sidebar.
